COMMENTARY: THE GREATEST DISCOVERY
IN HUMAN HISTORY There
is absolutely
nothing as important, as critical, as significant, and
as vital as the re-discovery that human
consciousness survives physical death. Space exploration,
the wizardry of computers, the secrets of making money
etc. do not come close.
For more than a century, empirical
researchers have shown that gifted mediums have demonstrated
that the afterlife does exist. Near-death experiences have given millions of people all over the world a taste of the unconditional love we can experience there. And over the last twenty years, we have been learning more and more ways to teach people to have their own direct communications with the afterlife.
Imagine the changes that would come about if every single
person in the world could see, on television, absolute
evidence that our loved ones survive death. Or even better, if everyone could experience a reunion with a loved one in spirit. And imagine if everyone really "got it" that we are multidimensional constantly-evolving beings who are part of all-that-is.
ENTERING INTO THE SPIRIT WORLD WITH WILLIAM BUHLMAN William Buhlman talks about what we as a species have learned from 40 years of exploring near-death experiences and out of body experiences. His message is clear - it is a form of insanity that the vast majority of the members of the human species are pawns of belief systems; they don't know where they came from or where they are going after death. Learn more about William's books and online courses.
VERIDICAL NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES It's hard to claim that
a near-death experience is "all in the mind"
when the experiencer can relate details of what they
saw and heard while they were clinically dead. Jan Holden
explains the importance of the book The
Self Does Not Die, which contains over 100
reliable, firsthand accounts of perceptions during NDEs
that were later verified as accurate by independent
sources.
At 5.00 mins, Tricia
Barker gives an example. While "dead"
she was able to see her stepfather eating a candy bar
in another room and her young daughter standing on a
table. She recounts how she was told to return to her
body and become a teacher. As a result, she has been
able to share knowledge of the afterlife with her many
students.
At 18mins.45, Stephanie
Arnold shares a most interesting set of experiences.
During her pregnancy, she had a strong and detailed premonition
that she would have complications in childbirth and
that she would die. She was only saved because one of
the many doctors she had warned had taken extra precautions.
Arnold was able to access detailed memories of what
happened to her during the time she was dead through
hypnotic regression. These memories were later verified
by the medical staff who had been present.
THE GIFT OF NDES TO THE WORLD Kevin Williams is the webmaster
of the IANDS.org websites: Near-Death.com, SurvivalAfterDeath.info, KenRing.org, and LizDale.com. On the
first page of the wonderful near-death.com he explains how studying many thousands of near-death
experiences has had a profound effect on him. He writes:
"The light of love revealed from millions of NDEs
is being poured out upon this world of great darkness
starving for light. This tremendous influx of light
from NDEs is bringing a new understanding of life, death,
and what happens afterward. It will ultimately lead
to the great spiritual revolution and unity of all humanity
foretold by many religions, NDEs, and psychic revelations.
It will be the "golden age" of paradise and
global peace realized on Earth." Read more.

PROFESSOR DAVID FONTANA AFTERLIFE INVESTIGATOR (1934-2010) This week we remember the magnificent contribution to Afterlife Science of Professor David Fontana. His bookIs there an Afterlife - A Comprehensive Overview of the Evidence (2005) remains one of the most highly respected in the field. David
was a
prolific author and the co-founder of the Transpersonal
Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. Within psychical research, he was known as
a courageous advocate for the afterlife especially after his in-depth
work on physical mediumship with Tom Harrison (see next item), investigations with the Scole Group, and study of Instrumental Transcommunication with Dr. Anabela Cardoso.
He was President, Vice-President and
Chairman of the Survival Research Committee of the Society of Psychical Research. In this video, David talks about his experiences of physical
mediumship and the
Scole Experiment.
ANNE HARRISON TALKS ABOUT 'LIFE AFTER DEATH - LIVING PROOF' In this short video prepared for our Afterlife Book Club's meeting last month, Anne talks about her husband Tom Harrison's book Life After Death- Living Proof. Prior to his death, Tom had become close friends with Professor David Fontana who devoted a whole chapter in his book to the Harrison Home Circle.
ARE MEDIUMS TALKING TO DEVILS?
Some religionists, basing
their opinions on outdated texts from the Old Testament,
claim that those who think they are being contacted
by the dead are being deceived by evil spirits. A Vatican Spokesman says it is possible for our
loved ones to contact us. Many mediums, like John Edward
and George Anderson, are practicing Catholics. A Committee
was appointed in 1937 by Archbishop Cosmo Lang (pictured)
to investigate Spiritualism. It carefully studied the
subject for two years and handed in its report. Although
conservative, the majority report concluded that it
is possible for good spirits to contact us. Read

SIGNS AND PREMONITIONS FROM LOVED ONES LOST ON 9/11 The book "Messages:
Signs, Visits, and Premonitions, from Loved Ones Lost on 9/11"
is a collection of inspiring true stories about the spiritual experiences of those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. Here the author, Bonnie McEneaney, talks about some of those experiences.
CELEBRITIES INVOLVED WITH MEDIUMSHIP:
QUEEN VICTORIA IN ENGLAND 1819-1901 When
Queen Victoria's beloved husband, Albert, died at the
age of 42, the young queen was plunged into grief and
withdrew from public life for three years. The only
thing that seemed to help her was her close friendship
with one of her servants, a Scot named John Brown. Their
relationship has always been the subject of gossip,
and it was rumored that the two were secretly married.
Below is a trailer for a 2011 movie made about their relationship with Judi Dench as Victoria and Billy Connelly as Brown. However, as you will see in the next item, the real story was even more interesting.
QUEEN VICTORIA ON MEDIUMSHIP
In 1960 Queen Victoria came through in a seance
with direct-voice medium Leslie Flint. She explained
that John Brown had been a direct-voice medium like Leslie Flint. He
had enabled her to maintain contact with her beloved
Albert. She says that she kept detailed diaries of all their seances
and the messages that came from Albert, but that after she
died everything was destroyed to protect her position
as head of the Church of England. Listen to the audiotape.
"How
privileged you are to know this great knowledge, this
great truth. Indeed, if it had not been for this great
knowledge you possess, I myself, I am sure, could never
have continued that long life of mine. It was the wonderful
knowledge and the realization I had that helped me through
those many years of difficulty, trial, and tribulation.
Indeed it is a great solace and a great blessing to
know of these great truths. God bless you all."
THE MEDIUM WHO BROUGHT THROUGH QUEEN VICTORIA To learn more about Leslie Flint and direct voice mediumship we highly recommend the new revised edition of Leslie's book Voices in the Dark available from the Leslie Flint Foundation. For for this revised edition every paragraph has been scrutinised for accuracy. All references have been checked and corrected where needed, quotes have been extended and names have been added in full. There are extra photographs - all enhanced to look their best - and the cover art is a reworking of the original 1971 first edition.
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS AFTER DEATH COMMUNICATION SURVEY Michelle Szabo and Dr. Dennis Gregor from Afterlife Data need our help. They have been asked to participate in gathering research for an article that Dr. Jane Bissler is writing that could substantively change how the psychological world helps grieving people. They have created a short three minute survey that they need people to complete as soon as possible. IMPORTANT -- If you have already answered this survey, please do not answer it a second time. Complete the survey here.
A WONDERFUL RESOURCE ON HEALING In
1967 at 16 years of age Sheri Perl became very ill. Her
health deteriorated until 1971 when her father made contact with
British Spiritual healer, Harry
Edwards. Overnight she began to get well. She
was absolutely amazed. Her healing was intensified when
she began to study with the medium Jane
Roberts attending her weekly ESP classes where her
communicating entity called Seth came through her in trance
and spoke to the students. The complete story of her illness
and healing is contained in her highly recommended bookHealing from the Inside Out and the Outside In. Now also available in kindle format.Sheri has also provided some
excellent healing exercises on her website.
Sheri will be one of the speakers on our panel of healers in our zoom Global Gathering next Sunday at 12 noon Pacific time (see below for more details) https://zoom.us/j/7595442928

QUESTION: Victor,
why do we have so much trouble in our lives? I thought
that one could organize oneself to live a peaceful quiet
life. T.S.Parker
Victor: Actually Silver Birch, the highly credible afterlife
teacher, transmitted information about this.
"It is not possible to have an earthly existence
freed from problems, difficulties, or troubles because
that is why you are born into your world. What is important
is the way you face them and call on the indwelling,
latent divinity to provide the strength to find the
solutions and draw you to do what is right. When you
make a link with our world it cannot be broken. It opens
a channel through which the power of the spirit reaches
you. And in that form of transmission, there is all that
is necessary for the well-being of your spirit, mind
and body."
REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL
"It has become conventional wisdom that we are hopelessly divided. But this narrative masks a larger truth: that we humans are incredibly skilled at overcoming division.
We Are Not Divided is a collaborative multimedia journalism project dedicated to revealing that truth by telling the stories that show our capacity, and our deep desire, to bridge our divides". Read more.
1) "Thank you so much for a very informative report again. I appreciate the time, research, and effort that goes into this each week. I do try to share to as many as I can". Sandra
2) "Thank you! I always enjoy your weekly emails full of information. This Silver Birch saying brings me tears of joy. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Peace Love and Light". Kay
3) "G’day Victor and Wendy. I found the interview with Marjorie Woollacott absolutely fascinating! She presented new views on how brain-distorted people become lucid in the last hours of life. These ideas brought tears to my eyes which, for me, is an indication of the ‘rightness’ of this hypothesis. Virtual hugs to you both". Steve in Kelowna.
MUSIC: TEARS IN HEAVEN
is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings
for the 1991 film, Rush. Clapton said it was
inspired by the pain he felt following the death of his
four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the
53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend,
on March 20, 1991. And in case you're wondering, we are assured that our loved ones stay close to us and will present themselves to us in the way we will remember them.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please,
begging please
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
